WALLPAPER GUIDE

On purchasing and installing wallpaper

 The Home Depot carries a range of Graham & Brown paste the wall, paste the paper,

and prepasted wallpaper products with different properties and instructions – please

refer to the back of the roll label for full hanging instructions

 Any high quality wallpaper paste/adhesive can be used to hang Graham & Brown

products

 Check the batch number on all rolls to ensure that the colors will match exactly when

installed

 Vinyl wallpapers are ideal for kitchens and bathrooms because they are more moisture-

resistant and splash-proof than other wallpapers

 Paintables can be left white or painted to match your décor

How to calculate the number of rolls required

1. Measure walls (including doors and windows): height x width to get the square footage.

2. Subtract 21 square feet for each door, 15 square feet for each window.

3. Find the pattern repeat on the wallpaper label. Solids and stripes will not list a repeat, so

use 0 as the repeat.

4. Determine the usable yield per roll of wallpaper by consulting the chart below.

Repeat size

Usable yield/roll

0 to 6 inches

50 square feet

7 to 12 inches

44 square feet

13 to 18 inches

40 square feet

19 to 23 inches

36 square feet

5. Divide the room square footage by the usable yield to determine the number of rolls

needed for the project.

Alternatively, refer to the chart below to determine how many rolls are required for the project.

WALLPAPER GLOSSARY

Match types

No match: The design has no

match, so there will be no visible join

or therefore seams. This also means

there is less waste.

Straight match: The left and right

edge of the wallpaper match in a

straight horizontal line with the left

and right edge of the next strip of

paper.

Offset match: The right hand edge

of the first strip only matches with

the left hand strip of the next strip,

when the second wallpaper is

dropped by a specified distance.

Eg. If a label states a 64/32cm offset

match, the design repeats every

64cm and the point at which they

match from left to right is every

32cm.

Application methods

Paste the wall: Unpasted wallpaper

that does not expand when wet. To

install, paste is applied to the wall.

The wallpaper is then hung dry from

the roll.

Prepasted: Wallpaper with a

backing paper that has been

treated with an adhesive and is

activated by water.

Paste the paper: Unpasted

wallpaper that is installed by

applying paste to the paper. The

wallpaper is then applied to the

wall.

Washability

Spongeable: The wallcovering can

only withstand light, almost dry,

cleaning.

Washable: The wallpaper can be

cleaned with a damp cloth and

soapy water.

Scrubbable: The wallpaper can be

washed or scrubbed with a brush

and cleaning solution.

Removability

Peelable: The surface of the

wallcovering can be stripped from

the wall leaving the backing paper

stuck to the wall. The backing

paper can be removed by soaking

with water and scraping.

Strippable: The wallcovering can be

stripped totally from the wall without

the use of water.
